Athens Paralympic triple gold medallist Chris Scott (36) claimed gold on Saturday in the 1km time trial for Division CP4 (Cerebral Palsy) in a world record time at the EPC European Championships in Alkmaar, The Netherlands. Scott, who also holds the world record for the 3km Individual Pursuit, is the first CPDiv4 rider to crack the 1'10 barrier, riding a time of 1'09.740 to better the mark of 1'10.058 he set in February at the Australian Championships in Adelaide.
As an Australian, Scott did not claim the European Champion Title which goes to Czech cyclist Jiri Bouska, who was second in a time of 1'10.840.
In Sunday's competition West Australian Jane Armstrong (47) broke the World Record for the 3km individual pursuit (LC3 + CP Division), posting a time of 4'36.333 in the qualifying round.
